"Sunrise on the Lake" Small Private Beach on Pea Hill Creek
This property has one of the best views on the lake! Dear Vacationer - * Please bring your own towels and linens and we recommend your own pillows.
LOCATION- The HOUSE is on a quiet cul-de-sac, in Henrico, NC on the NE Quad on beautiful Pea Hill Creek. It takes two hours from Virginia Beach, two hours from Raleigh, NC, one hour and forty five minutes from Richmond and three-four hours from Maryland and Washington, DC.
PEA HILL CREEK is large and has some of the cleanest water on the lake and is mostly calm. However, if you want rougher water, the main lake is a 5 minute boat ride away. You can enjoy swimming, fishing, jet-skiing, sunbathing, and boating on the lake. Lake Gaston has 350-miles of shoreline. It is 34 miles in length and 1.3 miles across at its widest point.
The BOAT DOCK is a short walk from the house with a very gentle slope. At the boat dock, you will find enough cleats to tie up your boat and there is 8 feet of crystal clear water at end of the dock to jump into safely. Bring your food down to the boat dock. You'll find a table and chairs where you can eat and watch all the lake activities up close, or relax and soak up the sun on one of our comfortable lounge chairs.
A PRIVATE BOAT RAMP is only 4 houses away. There are games for the kids to play in the house in case it rains or for use in the evenings.
The SANDY BEACH is small, natural, private and steps from the house. The little ones can play in it and build sand castles.
FISHING is excellent at Lake Gaston. Cast from the dock or a boat and catch bass, perch, catfish, sunfish and crappie. They're waiting for you.
The HOUSE is a one-story house and is clean and comfortable with excellent views of the lake. The house has Central A/C and Heat. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans. There are three bedrooms - (3) Queen beds, as well as (1) Pull-out Queen bed in the tan couch located in the great room. The house is not wheel chair accessible to get in and out of because there are 3 steps, but to get to the water from the house, there is a gentle slope that a wheel chair could easily negotiate. RENTERS SUPPLY THEIR OWN BATH TOWELS, LINENS AND PILLOWS.
The KITCHEN is equipped with all your needed appliances, 12 cup coffee maker and a Keurig single cup, dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and a slow cooker. You can also prepare your meals on our Gas Grill located on the house deck overlooking the lake.
The DINING ROOM seats six but an extra folding table and chairs can seat two more for a total of 8.
To Buy FOOD - Food Lion, Hamburgers and Hot dogs, Pizza with delivery, ATM, Ace Hardware and gas station located only 5 minutes from the house. (Make a right on River Rd and drive 5 mins) On the weekends, less than one mile away, is the Lake Gaston Flea Market. Great bargains and produce!
Renters supply their own towels, sheets and pillows. NO SMOKING. One small dog may be allowed. $200 Fee applies.
RENTER TESTIMONIALS Good Evening Chris, We had a BLAST! Wish we were there right now!! As I mentioned when we spoke last Thursday evening, we love your place. The house and location (we love Pea Hill Creek) are great. We had a great time and hope to spend some time (perhaps 2 weeks) there next summer. When do you begin booking for next year? We're attaching a photo of the family so you can 'meet' the Stephenson's. Thanks again. A and J Stephenson
Hi Chris, We had a fabulous time at the lake! Your house is at a great location on the lake, and we liked that we could swim from the dock. This was probably our most restful vacation. Denny did go golfing a few times at the local golf course. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home. Ginny S.
Lake house was AWESOME! We had an amazing time and hope to return sometime maybe even this summer if it's not already rented out. Thanks, Kate

This is my third stay at this property. It has the best location, beautiful views, quiet neighborhood, and the house is very clean. Check in is super easy, too!
The property has a great location. The home was just the right size for our family. Grandchildren enjoyed playing in the shallow waters of the property beach area and we all enjoyed the dock area.
We had a wonderful week. Swimming off the dock during the day and fishing in the evening. The house and property were in a great location. The owners were great deal with. Would definitely book again.
This property was amazing. We had a small Carolina skiff and it was so nice to have the boat ramp close by. The beach was perfect for our grandchildren ages 1 and two. The view of the lake was stunning and the house was well stocked and clean. The short walk to the dock and beach was so nice! I will definitely try to stay again.
The view of Pea Hill Creek was beautiful. It was quiet and relaxing to sit on the deck and enjoy being there. The property accommodated our needs but needs some sprucing up. The shower
truly could use a suction grasp bar for holding onto while showering for safety sake.
Great 2 weeks, Chris was easy to reach and easy to work with. This house has a fantastic view.Great location to boat ramp. We were comfortable and a/c worked great, we had some hot days.
Thanks for a great vacation.

The area is beautiful and the location on the lake is beautiful with a great area for kids to be in the lake. The house is less desirable. The house sleeps 8 but one pull out couch was broken and the other was so bad the kids didn’t want to sleep on it. Few amenities, but the value met the price.
We had a great family weekend relaxing and unplugging at the Lake! We loved the big dock and expansive deck and spent most of our time there. We enjoyed the sandwich shop down the road and the cute little local ice cream spot after dinner! The house was spacious, but the living room furniture definitely needs to be replaced and the bedroom linens and pillows need to be replaced. The family time and enjoying the lake are memories we made this weekend that we’ll talk about for years to come!
This was the third year our family stayed at “Sunrise On The Lake”. We continue to look forward to our next visits. It’s the quintessential family lake house. Everything is conveniently close by. The house is decently stocked with kitchen essentials. The view across the lake is one of a kind. I would highly recommend reserving this house for your next family vacation. Thanks Chris for sharing your lake house with our family. We hope to visit again soon.
This is a great location. Wow, the view!!!! The size of the house was perfect. Even though the house was very clean it does need some TLC. Nails on the deck are sticking up. Do not go barefoot! I would rent this again, just keep up with the maintenance and it will be booked all the time.
Dealing with the owner was very good and easy.
Our stay at the vacation lake house was absolutely perfect. It reminds me of my family’s lake houses in Northern WI. The house was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The view of the lake was amazing and we loved the convenience of having the neighborhood boat ramp and the dock at the house to enjoy our boat all week. The beach area on the property was great for the kids and we spent a lot of the hot afternoons cooling off there.
The location is ideal with a Food Lion 10 minutes down the road as well as a great bakery only a couple minutes away.
Chris was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful time at the lake house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation spot. This was our 4th year staying at Chris’s house and plan on booking again next summer.
The home was clean and has a great location on the lake. The private boat launch also made it nice to put our jetski in and out. We enjoyed our stay eventhough it was cut short due to some extenuating circumstances with our family. Look forward to getting an opportunity to stay again in the future.
The home location is great, close to shopping and an easy trip to Littleton for some rainy day activities. The kitchen has everything needed for meal prep. The host is responsive to any questions. We spent a lot of time at the dock taking in the beautiful views.
Chris was great to deal with. The house met all our needs. The water was great for swimming and the kids enjoyed fishing off the dock. The little beach with shallower water provided the younger kids 9,6 and almost 2 a great place to enjoy the water also.
We had a wonderful time Chris! The veiw was spectacular & the house was clean & just what we expected.Amazing lot & location, we had so much fun at Wobble Island & it was fun boating to all the restaurants.We would love to visit again hopefully in the near future.Thank you
